BACKGROUND

In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Santa Maria Fairpark has prepared an Initial Study to assess potential environmental impacts as a result of implementation of the draft Master Plan. The Initial Study has recommended preparation of a mitigated negative declaration in accordance with the provisions of CEQA. The Initial Study findings, along with public comment the Board feels is warranted, will be used to prepare the proposed Final Mitigated Negative Declaration that will be considered for certification concurrently with consideration to adopt the draft Master Plan at a future Board of Directors meeting. During the public hearing, anyone wishing to make a statement will be allocated a certain amount of time to provide information on the proposed project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Advertisement

A 20-year draft Master Plan has been developed for the 33 acre Santa Maria Fairpark to envision future improvements to the Fairpark as funding permits. The draft Master Plan assessed the conditions of existing facilities and developed three alternative build out options. The three options propose a variety of new uses such as a 5,000 seat covered arena, lecture hall, administration building, breakout rooms, and barn areas. The proposed draft Master Plan also provides improved vehicular and pedestrian circulation and improved parking facilities. Over the next 20 years additional uses may be included to help fund the operation of the Fairpark including but not limited to weddings, concerts, festivals etc.

SUBMISSION OF COMMENTS

The Initial Study for the draft Master Plan can be reviewed at the Santa Maria Fairpark Administration Office located at 937 S. Thornburg Street, Santa Maria, CA 93458. Comments should be limited to the analysis in the environmental document. Persons wishing to comment on the Initial Study have from July 18, 2006 through August 18, 2006 to submit. Persons wishing to attend the environmental hearing should submit written comments, or a summary of their comments, in advance of the hearing. The Santa Maria Fairpark will consider all comments and recommendations received on the Initial Study analysis before conclusion of the public comment period. The Santa Maria Fairpark is not yet requesting public input on the overall draft Master Plan, nor advice on whether or not to approve or deny the draft Master Plan. There will be future opportunity to provide these types of comments during the draft Master Plan approval process. All comments are due by 5:00 p.m., August 18, 2006 and should be submitted to:

Mr. Dennis Pearson, Santa Maria Fairpark, 937 S. Thornburg St., Santa Maria, CA 93458
